In April 2012, Barco launched ClickShare, a game-changing meeting room technology that enhances meeting efficiency and better decision making. The unique wireless presentation and collaboration system allows any meeting participant to share content on the central meeting room screen with the use of ClickShare buttons.
Since then, the ClickShare family has expanded, building further on the unique ClickShare experience. The product was praised by users, resellers and the press, and has won several industry awards including the InAVation Award (2013, 2014) and rAVe readers’ choice awards (2014, 2015 and 2016).
To protect the efforts put in the research, development and marketing of Barco’s innovative technology, Barco has secured a strong portfolio of both utility and model patents and registered ClickShare as a trademark in various jurisdictions.
Barco will now use the units seized as evidence for patent infringement lawsuits against KanexPro in the Netherlands, the US and any other jurisdictions where KanexPro commercializes its wireless presentation system. Barco is also closely monitoring other potential infringers in Europe, the Americas and APAC and will take the necessary steps to prevent others from copying Barco’s patented technology.
